Pros

Most of the people I got to work with were pretty nice.

Cons

Management was very Mickey Mouse. There was a lot of backstabbing between groups. IT had it's agenda. The various business units had their own agenda. There wasn't a lot of straight talk, just games that management liked to play. The money was terrible from a financial services perspective. I wished that I had never joined that firm.

Pros

Great people, competitive compensation, solid benefits/perks (medical/dental insurance costs covered), nice new office, flexible work arrangements available, and overall positioned to have sustained success in the industry.

Cons

Bonus targets are hardly granted because every year is a "tough year". Growth/mobility is limited internally; strong preference just to hire externally. Firm runs very thin in terms of headcount, expect to work long hours at times with no OT or recognition in the form of compensation.
